Foothills Paving & Maintenance Inc. Audit Scorecard
Executive summary, score mix, key SEO metrics, quick wins, and brand tokens from the normalized audit artifacts.
Foothills Paving operates a 200+ keyword organic footprint on a 25-year-old Wheat Ridge, CO asphalt and concrete brand. The site holds rank 1 for its brand terms and rank 3 for the high-volume informational query "how long does asphalt driveway last" (480 vol). Strength is concentrated in branded and informational long-tail. The structural problem is a sea of page-11 to page-30 rankings (a full 141 of 196 ranked keywords sit at positions 11 to 100) for high-CPC, commercial Denver-metro phrases that should be page-one money pages. Backlink profile shows 2,017 backlinks from 263 referring domains, but spam score is elevated at 19/100 and roughly a dozen of the top-ranked referring domains are low-quality / typosquat / PBN-style (huicopper.com, lowescouponn.com, almoheet-travel.com, raidersfanteamshop.com, etc.). On-page score is healthy at 93.41/100 with two correctable issues: the homepage has no meta description and images lack alt/title attributes. Largest leverage points are (a) push the cluster of rank 11 to 20 Denver paving terms onto page one with internal links + service-page rewrites, (b) disavow the typosquat referring domains to drop the spam score, (c) add meta description and image alt text immediately. Money is on the table at sub-$30 CPC on terms the site already ranks for in striking distance.
